X.L.SimplestFloat contains an unsafe getWindowAttributes

[geekosaur]

getSize :: Rectangle -> Window -> X (Window,Rectangle)
getSize (Rectangle rx ry _ _) w = do
  d  <- asks display
  bw <- asks (borderWidth . config)
  wa <- io $ getWindowAttributes d w
  let x  =  max rx $ fi $ wa_x wa
      y  =  max ry $ fi $ wa_y wa
      wh = fi (wa_width  wa) + (bw * 2)
      ht = fi (wa_height wa) + (bw * 2)
  return (w, Rectangle x y wh ht)

I guess nobody actually uses this layout, or we'd have heard about layouts suddenly becoming Full because they'd thrown exceptions by now.

Or getWindowAttributes never fails :)

Pretty sure it does, and that's why safeGetWindowAttributes is in Prelude.hs. (I have certainly seen apps create and withdraw windows before we can manage them,)
